Files Secure v.2.1 is a rogue anti-spyware program that is primarily designed to trick Internet users into purchasing its commercial version. Files Secure is promoted by the Trojan program called Trojan.Downloader.Adload.pd, which often is downloaded and installed on the computer together with fake video codecs that users usually get from questionable web pages. Once executed, Trojan-Downloader.Adload.pd will hijack web search engines like Google and generate false error alerts in your search results.

Trojan-Downloader.Adload.pd will also popup irritating fake warning messages stating that your computer has been infected with various Trojan programs, such as Trojan.Win32.Agent.akk, Trojan.Win32.LinkReplacer, Trojan.Win32.Gorshok.a, Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.gx and others. These Trojan names do not exist at all and are used only for threatening Internet users into purchasing the rogue Files Secure application.

Most of these Trojan bundled downloads circulate in web sites that offer a “video codec” to view free adult entertainment videos.

Once your computer gets infected with the Trojan, it will start showing up an annoying popup message: “NOTICE: Your system is infected and your computer performance is not at the highest level. Full system optimization will greatly increase your computer’s performance and prevent data loss”. Do NOT click on this fake error message because it will redirect your IE to IEDefender’s website where you will be forced to download IEDefender’s anti-spyware application.

Moreover, the Trojan, which has come bundled from either IEDefender and/or their affiliates, hijacks your search engines (such as Google, Yahoo and MSN) and displays a fake warning message within your search results claiming that your computer is in serious danger because of hazardous parasites in your system. This is the manner how they attempt to trick the users into purchasing IEDefender full commercial version. Again, do NOT click on this fake error message because it will direct you IEDefender’s homepage where you will be offered to purchase IEDefender’s application.
